7 Steps to Completing Your Financial Aid

  • If you submitted your FAFSA more than four weeks ago and have not received confirmation from the University, make sure you have released your FAFSA information to Wilmington University and then contact the Financial Aid Office (302) 356-4636.
  • If you have been notified to submit additional documentation, please respond as soon as possible.  Aid cannot be processed until those documents are received.

Rejected FAFSA:  If your FAFSA is rejected by the federal processor, it is not considered "processed" The most common reason why a FAFSA is rejected is when it is missing the required signatures.  Be sure to sign the FAFSA.

Keep in mind that your eligibility for summer student aid may be limited if you have used your eligibility during the fall and spring semesters. Federal Aid has yearly as well as cummulative limits.
